Confectionery game

Abstract

A confectionery guessing game is provided comprising one or more edible confectionery pieces containing a flavorant material such as a flavoring agent, liquor, fruit or nut. The confectionery is held in a package and a code identifying the flavor material is attached to or contained within the package. A removable obscuring layer such as a peelable strip covers the code from view. A game participant tastes the confectionery and tries to guess the flavor material contained therein. Confirmation of that guess may be had by removing the obscuring layer from the identifying code.
